BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Klitos Christodoulou is a Lecturer in Informatics. Klitos joined the Department of Informatics at the Neapolis University in Cyprus since the Department’s creation in September 2015. He holds a doctorate (PhD) in Computer Science from the University of Manchester, UK. In his doctoral research he worked under the supervision of Prof. Norman W. Paton and Dr. Alvaro A. A. Fernandes undertaking research in the area of Linked Data while exploring automated Data Integration techniques when these are applied on the Semantic Web.

During his doctoral studies he received a full scholarship from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), UK. Klitos holds an MSc in Advance Computer Science with Specialization on Advance Applications (with Distinction) and graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science (with First Class) from the School of Computer Science at the same University.

Being a member of the Information Management Group in the School of Computer Science, at the University of Manchester, he contributed in various research and teaching activities.

Klitos’s research focuses mainly on exploring machine learning, probabilistic techniques for automating the integration processes of semantically heterogeneous sources from the Web of Data.
